Founded in 1977 by a handful of UT Austin students searching for a place to pray, Nueces Mosque is a modest yellow house, hidden between skyscrapers near UT Austin campus.
Over the last five decades, it has become a spiritual home for tens of thousands of Muslim students during the most formative years of their lives.
As the first student-led* mosque in North America, it has empowered students to engage with the masjid through various leadership roles and activities.
A Board of Directors is appointed and mentors the student Executive Committee.
College is one of the most vulnerable times. A time when Muslim
students need Islam the most, but are most at risk of losing it.
For many, Nueces is the only space anchoring them to Islam but
it’s stretched beyond what it can hold.

InshAllah, we’re creating a modern, purpose-built facility designed to meet the spiritual, social, and emotional needs of Austin’s growing Muslim community.
This new center will be a place where students and young professionals gather not just to pray, but to truly live Islam through Ibadah (worship), Suhbah (companionship), and Sakina (peace).

Our vision is to build a modern, purpose-built facility that serves as a beacon of faith and a spiritual destination for college students and young professionals. The new Nueces Mosque will provide space for prayer, education, mentorship, and community connection to support the lifelong needs of future generations.
Nueces has become a spiritual home for tens of thousands of Muslim students, but the current space is stretched beyond what it can hold. The new facility is designed to meet the needs of Austin’s growing Muslim community.
